When all seated DR.. Hodge addressed
a few words of welcome, extending
again the hospitality Of the city. AT
the conclusion of the speech, President
Mathews arose, and aStOniShed Col.
Stanton by presenting him with Il
handsome silk badge. bearing the fol-
lowing inscription. fully illustrative of
the travelling boys propensity for jokes
There was an old man
Who said l
Am inventing iron clad pie,
To be sold in each depot
At rate very cheap, oh,
i shall really be rich by and by.
The Colonel replied in the spirit of
the occasion, and in his usual happy
style.
The fairer sex were not missing,
seventeen ladies hOnOring the occasion
by their presence.
After the banquet came the toasts,
the Hon. A. G. Romig performing the
duties of toast master, in a manner
astonishing to behold. He did the
honors in such a graceful and hOspitable
way that even his most intimate friends
were surprised and nonplused. That
our city was well represented by Mr..
R. in his capacity as toast master, is a
fact conceded by all who witnessed the
smiling grace of his presence. The L.
p. AS. will always have occasion to
remember the fatherly, benign glances
of A. C. ROmig, as he beamed upon
them over the feast of reason and flow
of soul, which followed the more sub,
stantial part of the programme.
